340 Parkview Dr New Castle IN, 47362About
My motto is, “When you love what you do, Monday feels the same as Saturday.” I truly love being a dentist, and look forward to going to work each day. Helping others has always been my passion! I enjoy the combination of artistry and science that dentistry affords me. The ability to transform a smile, alleviate discomfort, and help my patients maintain optimum oral and overall health is a wonderful feeling. In fact, I can’t imagine doing anything else.
Growing up in Columbus, Indiana, I always knew I’d pursue a career in the medical field. After receiving my bachelor’s degree in biology from Purdue University, I attended the Indiana University School of Dentistry. I graduated in 2008. I worked in corporate dentistry for a year, however, my love of people (and small town living) drew me to private practice in New Castle. I joined Parkview Family Dentistry and its sister site, Hagerstown Family Dentistry in 2009, and feel fortunate to work with a team of professionals who possess the same level of compassion, high standards, and commitment to providing superior, state-of-the-art dental care.
Aside from my work, my greatest joy is spending time with my husband, a veterinarian who grew up in New Castle. We enjoy hiking, walking, biking, and snow skiing. We’re also avid football fans, Go Colts!!
